The international conference on the future of the Palestinian state, initially scheduled for June at the United Nations in New York, is now set for July 28 and 29, AFP learned on Friday from diplomatic sources.
The conference on the Palestinian question and the two-state solution, Israeli and Palestinian, convened by the U.N. General Assembly, was supposed to take place in June but was postponed at the last minute due to the war between Israel and Iran.
It has now been rescheduled for July 28 and 29, diplomatic sources told AFP, who could not provide further details on the agenda or level of participation, as heads of state and government had been expected in June.
The conference is co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia. President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday called for a joint recognition of the State of Palestine by France and the United Kingdom. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, for his part, urged to "focus on" achieving a cease-fire in Gaza.
